Theta Phi Alpha's official Colony page still lists Marietta as a colony, with information as to how their colonies become chapters listed on same. It would appear this colony has not yet qualified as a full-fledged chapter.

Back when the stack was announced, I was told that housing was so tight it was going to present a major challenge. I don't know what the current status is, but I think we'd want to have that settled before colonization -- PNMs like to know.

From IP's thread, it does look like AOPi needs more time to establish...I am curious if they have a house yet. Anyone know?

Yes, AOII secured a house last Fall.

Per your other threads, don't these local sororties already exist? This thread is for announcing new extension opportunities and new colonizations in the upcoming school year. If one of these groups has officially announced that it is working with the NPC to officially express interest in extension/becoming a colony of a NPC sorority, then that would be an announcement that would be appropriate for this thread.

Elizey, LaneSig (who moderates this thread) will be looking for a more official announcement, such as from The Office of Student Life or a chapter officer of the local. Your suggestion may be well-intentioned, but you are not an official spokesperson for either local sorority.

Out of curiosity, has anyone heard any details about West Liberty University, and if one (or more) of the three locals is looking to go national, or if it's supposed to be a ground-up national colonization?

Give them a break.

I highly doubt that a large majority of us are considered 'official spokesperson(s)' for our national organizations. Most of our national organizations and campus Greek Life Offices would prefer that much of this information never made it into the public realm as it is.

The thing is, she's not speaking as a member of the organizations she purports to know so much about, or as a member of any organization, even. Saying "Well XYZ told me they're going to go national during rush last semester" is not a report I would put much faith in, no matter how well-intentioned the reporter might be. As an ADPi I would feel qualified to comment on any information I heard about our expansion movements, but as a PNM? Not so much.
